Fuchi, the same rules apply to everyone. If the 333MHz PII is only marginally faster than the 300Mhz version, is that any different than when Tom's hardware page reported one P5 chip as a "winner" because it crank out a 47 on the Winstone 97 benchmark versus a 46 for its nearest competitor? As of late, benchmark test results for everyone's chips have been compressed to the point where they are meaningless. Would you pay $1,000 to gain a handful of Winstone points? Would anyone? Once the P200+ hit the streets it all became noise to most users. If it is fast enough to do what you want, as fast as you want it ... it is fast enough. That's why I like the GX. In this rare case, less is more. Craig
